(...) Erik, The drive to Milwaukee isn't bad at all as I stated in my message to Tim. I will plan on attending those when I can.

(...) Well, I guess misenterpreted the LUGNET map for NILTC. It looked like it was centered in Chicago. The drive from Madison to Milwaukee isn't bad compared to I-90 to Chicago. Nothing like $2 in tolls each way. Yeesh! Anyway, if the meetings are (...) (23 years ago, 17-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

This is a general request to see if there would be enough interest in creating a Wisconsin LEGO Train Club (WILTC) in the Central/Southern Wisconsin area. I am located in Madison which makes getting to either NILTC or GMLTC a bit of a haul. If you (...) (23 years ago, 17-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains.org)

When we setup for the jackson street roundhouse, unload and setup ran about 3-4 hours with 8 people. Mostly a lot of standing around however because it was our first time putting it together. -john3 (23 years ago, 15-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.build)
